Pokémon Power ⇢ Cowardice
At any time during your turn (before your attack), you may return Tentacool to your hand. (Discard all cards attached to Tentacool.) This power can’t be used the turn you put Tentacool into play or if Tentacool is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
{W} → Acid : 10

Drifts in shallow seas. Anglers who hook them by accident are often punished by its stinging acid.

If you could use it’s power the turn you play it, it would have been broken and it would still be broken, luckiliy they didn’t make this mistake…

Well the unown tools like unown g and any tool returner like masquerain plb and mismagius lv x forms an infinite heal combo.
As does things like jumpluff drx, reuniclus and broken time space.
I always thought this card was so good back in the day. Giving your opponent at 30 hp gust of wind target is horrible
Dark Kira
Yeah, I know you can do it like this, too, but if Tentacool could use its power right away you would just need 1 card in addition to Alakazam/Reuniclus instead of 3 or 4. Also, with Tentacool you could have actually used it in Base-on, breaking the whole format if combined with something like Chansey.

Funny to put this Pokemon Power on a card that only has 30 HP!

It’s presumably to cap how many damage counters you can magically vanish with the BS Alakazam+Tentacool combo, particularly once you have more than one copy of Tentacool in play.
